Ex-IPS official blames Bengal CM for suicide

February 25, 2019 09:50 pm | Updated 09:50 pm IST - Kolkata

A retired IPS officer, who committed suicide last week, blamed West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for his death, a charge dismissed by the ruling Trinamool Congress as “baseless”.

In a six-page letter to the chief minister, Gaurav Chandra Dutt, who retired earlier this year, accused her of abetting his suicide by keeping him in “compulsory waiting” for a posting. The 1986-batch IPS officer also alleged he was “harassed and tortured in devious ways” by various State institutions at the behest of the chief Minister.
